*Target (protein/gene name): fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase
*NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#:
*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#:
*Organism: Plasmodium falciparum
Etiologic Risk Group (see link below):
*Background/Disease Information: P. falciparum is a protozoan parasite that is instrumental in causing malaria - the number one most fatal disease in the world. The fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase enzyme is a glycolytic enzyme which if targeted, could halt the production of ATP for the protozoan which would effectively kill it. The p. falciparum version of the enzyme also differs from the human version of the enzyme making selective targeting possible.
Essentiality of this protein: Affects glycolysis so it is very essential to p. falciparum survivial (link to article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9521758)
Complex of enzymes: no
